The mrs got a pun***re the other day on her road bike,i finally got round to having a look at it today and could'nt believe my eyes when i went to take the inner tube out,the tyre was bonded onto a very shallow rim,the spokes are recessed and theres no rim tape.
So......what tyres are these and i take it to put normal tyres and tubes on i need to replace the wheels? I really dont want to do this as its a very good quality bike,handbuilt titanium Raleigh,Campagnolo Chorus everything,Hope rear hub,etc etc etc,the mrs loves it and right now i cant afford new wheels.Are these tubeless tyres readily available,roughly how much are they and what is needed to bond them onto the rim.?????? The rims are Mavics if thats relevant,tyres are continentals.
Desperatly need some advice please.
forgot the pics.
